20. The big 2-0. It's not quite 18, and not quite 21. It's that weird in-between age. But it's the "no longer a teenager" age. Here are some thoughts as I (finally) turn 20.
1. I'm no longer an ~angsty teen~.
Means I can no longer use that as my excuse for being emotional.
2. Does that mean I'm old?
3. Do I have to be a grown up yet?
I'm not ready for real responsibilities.
4. I've lived two whole decades.
5. Do I even look 20?
I don't look like the 20-year-olds in movies.
6. Can I still call mom whenever I have the tiniest of issues?
7. Do I have to stop sleeping with a pillow pet?
8. People my age have children...and husbands. I don't need to do that yet... right?
9. Can I still sleep in until noon?
I just can't stop binge watching Grey's.
10. Is it still okay to have mac and cheese at 2am?
11. I need to get a real job soon.
12. Can I still get chicken nuggets out at a restaurant?
Kid's menu forever.
13. The whole "what do you want to be when you grow up" thing is now a reality.
14. I guess I lost my chance to be an Olympic gymnast at this point.
I just want to be part of the Final 5.
15. Do I have to get my own insurance?
16. If I'm 20 that means all of my younger cousins are old too.
17. Should I learn how to cook real things?
Mac and cheese out of the box doesn't count anymore.
18. I'm graduating college...like soon.
I don't ever want it to end.
19. I don't want to be a real person.
20. Well, one more year until I'm 21.
About time.
